Location of Edinburgh Napier University
With an advanced degree in communication engineering, you'll be able to tap into one of the world's most rapidly developing industries. Mobile, optical, satellite and microwave communications systems are proliferating around the globe: you'll learn the technologies behind their design and implementation, and the skills needed to apply them to specific projects.
Demand for communication services is steadily rising, almost beyond the industry's capacity to train new engineers. This course puts you in the driver's seat for an exciting role in this dynamic technical field.
Skills
As well as learning the theories behind communication engineering, you'll gain practical experience in the design, development, installation, testing and maintenance of electronic and communication systems. You'll learn both to collaborate and work independently, applying your skills through projects to a variety of software and hardware technologies.
Career Prospects
As Edinburgh's top university for Graduate Employability (HESA 2010) and one of the top in the UK for Graduate Prospects (The Independent and The Times University Guides for 2009), we can offer you a valuable head-start in your chosen career.
As with most engineering-based fields, career prospects are very good. As communication systems become more advanced, more engineers are needed to design and implement them. Your advanced qualification could see you pursuing a career in:
* communications design
* research and development
* communications marketing.
